It was the tumultuous 1960s, and the rock ‘n’ roll musical landscape was about to change. Pop icons from the ‘50s such as Chubby Checker, Ricky Nelson, Fats Domino and Elvis Presley would see a generation changing to a new beat. The beginning of the ‘60s brought he start of the Motown record label which introduced the world to a new sound, and a list of incredible performers.
That era would also see a whole new type of music with the British Invasion, when rock and pop music acts from across the Atlantic became a cultural phenomenon in America. Groups such as the Beatles, The Dave Clark Five, the Kinks, the Rolling Stones and Herman’s Hermits were at the forefront of the invasion.
At age 15, Peter Noone was receiving international fame as Herman, the lead singer of Herman’s Hermits. This group went on to record a string of iconic hits from that era, selling more than 60 million recordings, and garnering 14 singles and seven gold albums.
Classic hits include “There’s a Kind Of Hush,” “I’m Into Something Good,” “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter,” “I’m Henry VIII, I Am,” “Silhouettes,” and many more. Herman’s Hermits appeared on hundreds of top-rated television programs and with such legends as Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason, Dean Martin and Danny Kaye, as well as appearing in three highly successful feature films for MGM: “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter,” “Hold On!” and “When the Boys Meet the Girls.”
During the ‘70s, Noone continued to perform, compose and produce songs for many artists including icon David Bowie. During the ‘80s, Noone found himself on the Broadway stage starring in “The Pirates of Penzance,” winning critical reviews for his performances. Noone’s acting career flourished throughout these years as well with guest starring roles in prime-time television shows. He currently has a popular weekly series on Sirius XM satellite radio called Something Good with Peter Noone – three hours of ‘60s music with remembrances and commentaries from Noone himself.
Whether it’s the ‘60s pop icon, stage, television and film star, music composer or radio personality, Peter Noone is the real deal, and he will be live in concert with Herman’s Hermits on the Harrington stage for one incredible night. Tickets are $39. All ages are welcome.
